That is the death of Darwin.

Ho hum. Darwin has been dead for some time. Natural selection, however, is alive and well.

Natural selection following genome reorganization eliminates the misfits whose new genetic structures are non-functional. ... Once organisms with functional new genomes appear, however, natural selection may play a positive role in fine-tuning novel genetic systems by the kind of micro-evolutionary processes currently studied in the laboratory.

Now all you need to demonstrate is how the genome reorganizes, and who or what does the reorganization. The Tooth Fairy?

This sounds oddly like saltation, a theory that was widely and thoroughly investigated after Darwin's "Origin." Perhaps you have personal knowledge of some evidence that didn't show up in the 80 years when most biologist believed it. If so, you ought to show us the evidence and dazzle us.

Ho hum all you want. You are supporting the contention that Darwinism is substantially flawed. You found and posted the Patterson comment that again undermines the fundamental causative agent for Darwinian evolution. It is called---The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life

Now all you need to demonstrate is how the genome reorganizes, and who or what does the reorganization. The Tooth Fairy

It surely isn't Natural selection, as Patterson, in your citation of his "death bed" (joking of course so you don't try another red herring) comment, concludes.

P.S. the title of this thread is ---- "Teaching Darwin"
